A DAY IN OUR LIFE IN LUCCA, TUSCANY | DISCOVERING EVERYDAY LUCCA | ITALY VLOG

[@michellelyon3149]

This was so relaxing. Watching Enzo meticulously select the tomatoes warmed my heart. We always have a large bowl of fresh tomatoes, or as best as can be found during colder months, on our kitchen island. The pantry can never be too well stocked! During the shutdown, it was the only time that my husband did not give me grief for having so much pasta in the pantry. 🤣🇮🇹 (I just snuck in a recent Amazon delivery of 6 bags of Rummo rigatoni!!) We’ve had it twice so far & he is none the wiser of where it came from! 😋

[@PiazzaTalkLucca]

Thank you. Enzo loves his pasta with tomato sauce and we have tomato salads or caprese salad very often in the summer.

[@aserra69]

Thank you for the wonderful slow video. I especially liked the small sequence in the market. When we visit Italy we do enjoy both the large markets and the smaller grocers. Really looking forward to our visit back to Lucca in the fall.

[@PiazzaTalkLucca]

Thank you for your comment. The fall is the best time to visit Lucca.

[@johncburke2517]

Good to see outside Lucia’s historical walls. Lovely market for local fresh helps keep the local economy in excellent shape, shoe repair shop seems busy. Thanks for sharing .Ciao John, uk

[@PiazzaTalkLucca]

A big sadness for me is that there is not a lovely daily food market inside the walls. Twice a week a small organic market is held in two different locations. This weekly market can look quite dull until you dig. I have found amazing bargains but you do need to have a bit of a will.

[@musicadafavola]

Beautiful!! 👍

[@PiazzaTalkLucca]

Grazie

[@shirlharrison1376]

Thanks for this, we like walking over to the market sometimes and love the honey and flower stalls there. Can't wait till we get back to Lucca in a few weeks

[@PiazzaTalkLucca]

We find a walk in the market very relaxing especially if we manage to get there first thing in the morning.

[@mikec3535]

Really enjoy your videos. Looking forward to visiting Luca next year in April, hopefully see you there.

[@PiazzaTalkLucca]

Thank you for your kind words and please say Ciao if you see us in Lucca.

Ciao e salve, carissimi amici **Celia* ed *Enzo*...!* Come sempre, c´e fabuloso tanto e troppo questo video - e *lei* anche 😁 ; grazie mille...!! ~💖💖

[@PiazzaTalkLucca]

grazie davvero per le belle parole 💖💖

[@alexysq2660]

@@PiazzaTalkLucca O, prego tanto ed in realta` grazie lei: mi piace molto da vedere ( ... ¨to see/watch¨...?? ) gli sui videii e la vita in la bellissima Lucca !! Omg, that has truly got to be one of the most awful attempts at il italiano that you´ve likely ever had the grave misfortune to have inflicted upon you 😔🙂😆...?!! Parlo francese io, ma davvero non tanto il italiano tristamente; et vous: peut-e^tre vous parlez au moins un peu cette langue en plus, par hasard...?? When it comes to Italian though, i truly have the cheek to just try and fake it, having a go at sort of ´bluffing´ my way badly through i´m afraid, although i do pick up bits and bobs along the way actually. You really are both the very loveliest of people in all sincerity, and i do greatly appreciate what you do 😊...!! ~💖✨💖

Thank you for your very kind words. We do appreciate very much your efforts to write in Italian. 💖💖

Bellissimo e rilassante specie se uno ci va presto!

[@fhugheveleigh2]

I underline the comment below this in respect to the relaxing nature of this week's episode. It meanders along with due respect to summer heat and your advice to slow down. Pleased to hear about the local uprising re the shack (I think that might be an Australian word to describe it) just outside the walls. From what I could see in part, the prices in the greengrocer's appeared reasonable and if Enzo gives it approval then one assumes quality is even more 'reasonable'. Grazie.

[@PiazzaTalkLucca]

The quality of their vegetables is very good and they have a very fast turnover. Eating a frate as a young person is a rite of passage for every Lucchese and eating it in later life renews that vow.

[@MikeAPRN]

Great video, such a beautiful lifestyle. I’ve always wondered, do you run a bed and breakfast or inn type of establishment?

[@PiazzaTalkLucca]

Thank you. We rent out our farmhouse in the summer but we don't do bed and breakfast

[@MikeAPRN]

@@PiazzaTalkLucca you guys have a beautiful farmhouse!

[@PiazzaTalkLucca]

Thank you

[@blameskroka5542]

Hola!buscando videos sobre Luca,encontré vuestro canal.He mirado algunos de vuestros videos y me gusta vurstro estilo.Estamos planeando mudarnos a Italia en un año o menos.Luca ,Nettuno y Livorno son los lugares que estamos considerando.Sería interesante ver cómo es la ciudad fuera de los muros y saber si hay áreas verdes para caminar allí también.Alguien dijo que los alquileres dentro de la muralla eran más bajos que afuera¿ Es así? Gracias por compartir vuestras salidas y comentarios!(Ah,ya estamos aprendiendo italiano!!) Ciao!

[@PiazzaTalkLucca]

Thank you for your lovely words. There are green areas outside the wall. The area by the river is a regional park. Lucca is surrounded by hills with wonderful country walk. The rents outside the walls in general are cheaper than inside the walls. Good luck with your search for your little bit of paradise

[@lynettehirschowitz8128]

Lovely video…that danish pastry looked mouthwatering ! I was very interested in your comments about the jewish communities scattered around the area. There is a synagogue in Pisa …the Jewish population there thought to be the oldest in Tuscany. Cant wait to return to the hill next week. Xx

[@PiazzaTalkLucca]

Interesting, it needs further research. I was amazed to be told there is an Orthodox Agriturismo just outside Lucca.

TANTI SALUTI DA ALESSANDRO DELLA CALZOLERIA CALISSI BORGO GIANNOTTI !!!

Grazie a voi. Tantissimi saluti e alla prossima!

[@Michelle-if6jn]

Grazie come sempre. Mi piace la scena dove Celia sta stendendo i panni. Ha mai fa caduto qualcosa? Ci sono molti scalini per lo ritrovare?

[@PiazzaTalkLucca]

Si qualche volta è caduto qualcosa ma è facile riprenderli non come a Venezia!

[@korenng5553]

Coming mid May-how do these outdoor Markets operate...Sat. only all day?

[@PiazzaTalkLucca]

The antique market is on the weekend third Sunday of every month. There is a weekly general market every Wednesday and Saturday morning Via Delle Tagliate outside the walls. There is a farmers market Wednesday and Thursday inside the walls and outside on a Saturday morning outside the walls . For a full list I have attached the link www.turismo.lucca.it/mercati-e-mercatini Enjoy your trip to our city and do say ciao if you see us.

[@korenng5553]

Thank you 👍 excited ! Used Google Translate... Adds a local touch on our way to niece Tuscany Wedding 4/21 in nearby town Borgo a Mozzano/Villa Catureglio!

[@PiazzaTalkLucca]

It is a lovely setting and some celebs have chosen the Villa as their venue. Have a wonderful day

[@DorenesFoodPrepResource]

Hi Enzo and Celia- I just came across your channel and enjoyed your video of Lucca. My husband and I will be coming to Italy in May. His mom's family is from Porcari just outside of Lucca. We are thinking about renting ebikes in Lucca to ride to Porcari. Do you know if this is a good choice? I've been scouring YT to see if someone has done this, but have not found anyone. It's our first trip to Italy.

[@PiazzaTalkLucca]

Thank you for subscribing and joining us. I am not an expert on cycling as I only have a town bike with no gears but Porcari is on the Via Francigena and only about 10 KM from Lucca city. I have cycled on the Via Romana and it is a busy road. I think the best thing is you contact www.ciclismoplus.com/rent-a-bike-in-tuscany/bike-rental-in-lucca/. Max Pullinger works there and speaks English. Do mention my name Celia (Bagni di Lucca) and Piazza Talk. I think he will be able to answer all your questions.

[@DorenesFoodPrepResource]

@@PiazzaTalkLucca Thank you so much!

[@glori30175]

Did you see Jasmin Paolini tennis?She is from Bagni di Lucca!

[@PiazzaTalkLucca]

Yes, we have been cheering for Jasmine. We have known her since she was 6 years old. Stardom and success haven't changed this lovely girl, who is now an extraordinary woman.

Non sei la prima persona ad averlo sottolineato. E' sorprendente cosa uno possa trovare nei mercati!

[@susankahn7219]

Wish you had turned camera around so we could see the area while you talked.

[@PiazzaTalkLucca]

Thank you for the suggestion. It might be interesting to look at the historical areas outside the walls.

[@judit1783]

I love little markets and stores. Also, when I travel anywhere in the world, I go into the neighborhoods to eat and shop. As I age, sadly, I find that a little more risky. What was funny before your video started - Dunkin Donuts, a New England based business, but now in 44 US states, put an advertisement before your video. Not appropriate since they do not have the quality of coffee of italy.

[@PiazzaTalkLucca]

A coincidence? Can KZbin read what we're saying? We find very relaxing wandering around our market. We also end up in that bar for a coffee and a little rest.
